As much as I like my roommate, sometimes I really want to hit him. Literally hit him. Like, for example, the other day we were watching the Sac-Minnesota playoff game and he was rooting for Sacramento....only because he says the Wolves are crappy and he thinks KG is a wus. Of course, he overlooks KG being the MVP and the best player in the league and the Wolves taking the #1 seed in the Western Conference. Nope, he still thinks they haven't proved anything. Arrrrrrgh...I wanted to hit him...but at least they won and I could make him eat his words. Now, today, he started saying how all of the Beastie Boys' songs sound the same. What a classic non-beastie boy fan thing to say. I went ahead and attempted to prove my point by playing songs such as Groove Holmes, Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun, Transit Cop, Song for Junior, Get it Together, Finger Lickin' Good, etc. Of course, he wouldn't listen and started playing all of the cliche songs....by which I mean all of their singles. Yea, they might sound a little alike....a little....but that's because the B-Boys make those songs singles because it's what the popular culture wants to hear. Even though Songs like Heart Attack Man rock, it would never be a single....just because it's not a single-type of song. Anyway, it's my biggest pet-peeve when people say that all of the Beastie Boys' songs sound the same. If you're willing to listen, I'll change anybody's opinion because the fact of the matter is, they don't sound the same....and that's why they rock.

The other day I watching a local channel on Iowa T.V. when I saw a commercial for something here in town and it said (written out, not spoken) "Your pre-approved already!" I started laughing....I mean....that was like a third grader mistake...and they let it go on t.v. For those of you who don't get what's so funny, I feel sorry for you....and it was because the company used "Your" instead of "You're." In other words, the possesive "your" instead of "you are." I dunno...I thought it was funny.
